Ummm... did you not read what we responded with? NFS is probably the most common application to use RPC. NIS also uses RPC. To be honest, you are probably not going to find a lot of modern desktop applications that use RPC. And Outlook only uses it RPC (or at least used to, with MAPI) to interoperate with Exchange. RPC tends to be used in client-server environments, and in many cases has been superseded by CORBA, SOAP, and (in the Java world) RMI.
